"I was glad my father was an eye-smiler. It meant he never gave me a fake smile because it's impossible to make your eyes twinkle if you aren't feeling twinkly yourself. A mouth-smile is different. You can fake a mouth-smile any time you want, simply by moving your lips. I've also learned that a real mouth-smile always has an eye-smile to go with it. So watch out, I say, when someone smiles at you but his eyes stay the same. It's sure to be a phony."

-Roald Dahl

According to the stars, here is what is in store for my week:

Your boss may be on the opposite of your greatest-hits list at the beginning of the week -- and if a significant other, friend or your mother is acting bossy, you're not loving them right now, either. Use a little tact; this, too, shall pass, so let it do that without any lasting damage. . You're plagued by doubts early this week -- lasting through Wednesday, most likely, unless you get some really good answers from the right person before that. All is better than well on Thursday and Friday -- people love you, and it looks like you're loving life. Choosing among all the good stuff should be your biggest problem. As for the weekend, something needs contemplation and resolution. Give it due time and consideration. It's not so bad to ask big questions, especially fairly early on, but if you've been with the same person for years, you may still want to get to know them even better. Your great energy later in the week guarantees that any discomfort that has popped up is quickly beaten back down.

"Lena was an introvert. She knew she had trouble connecting with people. She always felt like her looks were fake bait, seeming to offer a bridge to people, which she couldn't easily cross."

It seems that every one of my friends on Facebook either just gave birth or just got married. One even practically married while giving birth. I don't know how to explain my thoughts on marriage succinctly but I'll try anyway. I know that I am in absolutely no rush. I wouldn’t say that I am a cynic, but skepticism is definitely a word in my vocabulary. I'm not the type that has dreamed about marriage my whole life [or even 1/8 of my life] or the type to tell a man that I must be married!!! With some insane urgency, but I do feel that marriage is the next logical step if two people are unwilling to live without one another. I feel that many people's aversion to marriage has a base that is steeped in fear, selfishness, or distrust. And that's not the type of person I'm interested in being with anyway, ring or no ring. Not only that, but I refuse to raise children out of wedlock because I have not come this far to be some dude's baby mama. Hell to the naw.

I don’t care what anyone says, “Tiny Dancer” by Elton John will forever be one of my favorite songs. Elton John has swag.

Swag- The way in which you carry yourself. Swag is made up of your overall confidence, style, and demeanor. Swag can also be expanded to be the reputation of your overall swagger. You gain swag, or "Swag up", by performing swag worthy actions that improve this perception. A person can also "swag down," by being an overall pussy and garnering negative swag for their actions. Swag is a subtle thing that many strive to gain but few actually attain. It is reserved for the most swagalicious of people. Swag can also be quantified, with point systems existing in some circles of friends.

I believe in trust and honesty and respect and loyalty and commitment. But there's so much more. There should be an honor for one another, an admiration, a passion between two people. A union without these things, is a union that is unjust and incomplete.

This label looks like a penis. Tell me I’m wrong.

"I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself."



The more they underestimate you, the less they know.

I had a very productive weekend. I got a lot planned for school, and am relatively motivated because I like what I’m teaching. I also completed a lot of work on the canvas I have been working on for months. I am almost finished. I just have some thoughts/ ideas that I am still processing before I can baptize it a masterpiece of me.

"One can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways."
